Setting healthy boundries

I have always struggled being a people pleaser and a false peacemaker. Once I began to understand and implement healthy boundaries as well as not taking blame for others, was I able to start releasing myself from people pleasing. It was really hard at first because people were not used to me saying no or speaking my mind. But as I leaned in the uncomfortable and experienced grace with the safe people I chose to put healthy boundaries with, I grew in this skill. I am still learning and growing, especially with those that are hardest for me to say no to. But I am at a much happier place, free to truly be who I am with others without feeling ashamed or guilty.
